CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1, Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may 
be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be 
likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

2, The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide 
the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase 
money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the pur- 
chasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default 
of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and 
re-sold. 

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the 
time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of 
which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the 
risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for 
the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and 
without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such 
purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale shall 
be a charge against such purchaser. 

4, Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment 
of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 
A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—between the 
hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art 
Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on pre- 
senting the bill of purchase. 

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of 
any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 

5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in 
which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed 
by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, 
afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and 
reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any 
assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of 
the parties engaged for such service. 

6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the pur- 
chaser. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and 


thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in caring 


for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if 
such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. 

Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed 
within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 

4%. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of 
any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, 
error of cataloguing, or any imperfection not noted. Every lot is 
on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which 
it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, 
in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention 
of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible 
for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper 
foundation. 

SPECIAL NOTICE. 

Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on 
orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faith- 
fully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchase so 
made will be subject to the above Conditions of Sale, which cannot 
in any manner be modified. The Association, however, in the event of 
making a purchase of a lot consisting of one or more books for a pur- 
chaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at 
the exhibition or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten 
days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if 
the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and 
given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. 
Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids 
should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists 
of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is 
unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference sub- 
mitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 

Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, 
will be furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.
